Migration of Galaxy to System Platform 2023 Never Completes

SUMMARY

When migrating a Galaxy from an older version to System Platform 2023, the process hangs without any errors or warning and never completes.

The Log Viewer shows the original aaGR process is gone and a new aaGR process has stated with a process ID 263140.

CAUSE

By default, the migration process handles 500 templates at the same time from the original Galaxy.
If there are more than 500 templates, this may exceed the 3.5 GB that aaGR process can handle, causing a crash as we see in the Log Viewer.

The restarted aaGR process does not proceed with the migration thereafter.

This tech note provides the steps to change the default MaxTemplateCacheSize from 500 templates to 10 to make sure the 3.5 GB limit is not violated.
